Let’s face it, Toronto is quickly becoming more and more of a hotspot for some of the world’s biggest celebrities. Whether it’s Drake and his crew wandering through Yorkville for ice cream, Samuel Jackson hanging out in Yorkville, or Snoop Dog partying at Regulars or Cabana on a Saturday Night…it’s no longer an unexpected sight. But that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t leave us speechless sometimes. Especially when it’s one of your favourites. Incredibly, this year there are 80+ A-listers that we’re expecting in the city for TIFF. That’s not counting the ones that will show up to show some support (like Cardi B) and the local ones too.
